May 28th 2024: Developing a Model for Regional Climate Change Education with Danielle Heffernan
Abstract: Climate Generation is a nationally recognized nonprofit seeking to ignite and sustain climate action by working with youth, educators, and the public. Their Education Program has been providing interdisciplinary climate change education training and resources for over 15 years. Climate Generation is exploring how to provide effective support on a regional level to increase capacity and encourage systematic shifts that embolden climate change and climate justice education in communities. Join Danielle Hefferan, Climate Generation's Regional Education Coordinator, to hear about their strategic process thus far and join in conversation around scaling work up or down to meet the needs of your stakeholders.
Bio: Danielle strives to bring people together to co-create a thriving future. Through being a naturalist and active community member she has learned the value of slowing down, paying attention, and participating in her surroundings. Having a Master's in Teaching focused on community-centered climate solutions and formerly directing a graduate program in environmental education, Danielle has a passion for pedagogy and helping educators offer a promising future for their learners. Living in Finland, Minnesota surrounded by a robust community (human and natural) is inspiring. She loves spending time nesting in her home, cooking elaborate meals, connecting with fellow humans, and moving her body.
